Summary edit
| Description |
In southwest Romania, the rivers draining the Transylvanian Alps have incised the rough topography of the foothills. Only the river channels can be utilized for agriculture; the inter-stream land is rugged and forested. Agricultural fields are extremely long and narrow, oriented perpendicular to the streams and rivers. The image was acquired July 4, 2008, covers an area of 36.9 by 51.8 kilometers, and is located at 44.8 degrees north, 23.6 degrees east. With its 14 spectral bands from the visible to the thermal infrared wavelength region and its high spatial resolution of about 50 to 300 feet (15 to 90 meters), ASTER images Earth to map and monitor the changing surface of our planet. ASTER is one of five Earth-observing instruments launched Dec. 18, 1999, on Terra. The instrument was built by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. A joint U.S./Japan science team is responsible for validation and calibration of the instrument and data products. |
